Setting up an Emdebian Mirror

Get the archvsync scripts

http://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror#how

Setup the archvsync user

This user will typically have the archvsync scripts available in the home directory of that user, e.g. bin/runmirrors will have a realpath of /home/archvsync/bin/runmirrors.

Setup the correct key

http://www.emdebian.org/~archvsync/pushmirror.pub

This is the key which the Emdebian server will use to push files.

Sizes

The full Emdebian mirror is ~79Gb, so allow 90-100Gb.

Starting the push

You need to ask on the debian-embedded@lists.debian.org mailing list to be added to the push. To do that, you need to supply the shortname and server name of the mirror:

e.g. hands debian.hands.com
